The dog’s cognition of things in nature is mainly identified by smell, and its division between humans and other things is of course also completed by smell, and smell is the fundamental difference between everything. They have a sensitive sense of smell far beyond that of other animals, including humans, and rely on the discrimination of the smell of different things to make accurate judgments to determine each of its activities. It is no exaggeration to say that it is an animal that relies on its sense of smell to live normally.
The reason why dogs are friendly to humans, obedient to their masters, loyal to each other, and never give up, is because dogs have always followed the strict hierarchy of wolves since the evolution of wolves, taking their masters as their leaders, and at the same time. Think that humans are above them. The dog’s cognition of his own status determines the dog’s self-perception of inferiority. Therefore, dogs always show timidity and fear in front of people, and they will not take the initiative to approach strangers. But it is not uncommon for dogs to actively attack humans. If a dog actively attacks you, it thinks that you are likely to have posed a threat to it. Another possibility is that the dog’s thinking is out of control, that is, the dog Become crazy.
In daily life, we also found that dogs are more arrogant towards their peers, because they know that other dogs are the same as themselves, and they will bite and fight if they smell something wrong. This is a kind of nature of dogs. It is by fighting to establish one’s position. Regardless of the breed, dogs know exactly what they are, whether it’s a large golden retriever or a small teddy.
Dogs clearly distinguish humans from their peers. Dogs are very excited when they see their peers. We can also observe them when walking dogs. On the road, dogs will appear indifferent when they see pedestrians passing by, but when they see other dogs appearing Just jumping up and down, trying to rush over. My Border Collie is often in the yard, and when he sees other dogs, he will rush to the fence, try to make contact with it, and let out a bark that only they can understand.
Therefore, dogs can clearly distinguish between people and their own kind, and in its consciousness, human beings are always higher than them. They will consciously position themselves. Dogs seem to know very well that humans actually dominate them.
